  • Yeah it was several first team players fuming with yann

    Is he having a quick one up the OXO tower?
  • Yeah it was several first team players fuming with yann

    Ah, so another factor in this "who's to blame for The Beast's departure ?" saga could be that RD was aware that Yann was a disruptive influence in the camp ?

    Interesting snippet, nla !

  • Haven't we done Kermy to death now? I was sorry to see him go at the time, I couldn't understand it, but he has gone.

    I think it's only natural for it to remain an issue whilst our inability to score continues to pose a threat to our survival and a bloke we sold for a few hundred grand has a better than 1 in 2 ratio.

    Careful dick, we're supposed to discuss it to death. Can see threads in 2021 still bemoaning the French man's departure.
  • I still haven't got over Derek Hales moving to Gillingham.....

    "interesting snippet" is one way to describe that post.

    I must have missed that "disruptive influence" when I watched him leading us to victory against Brighton a couple of weeks earlier

  • No one said hate I said fuming and annoyed

    And if you go back to the yann thread all 60000 pages of crying you will see I said it then


    Certain first team players were not happy with his decision and actions as they found the fa cup very important to them and the club

    Yet yanns choice made that tarnished and at risk

    I am sure the performance away to donny was a reflection of the unrest and unease of all the players involved two days before and in the hotel

    Powell convinced yann to travel and spent the whole time trying to convince him to play

    But yeah the players didn't really care I mean why would they

    The main Striker the fans favourite

    I am sure they wouldn't give a fuck


    And of course it's much better to say the players played shit at donny because they were annoyed yann was potentially leaving

    But remember it was suggested this was all done behind powells back

    So how would the players have known to react that way and put in a shit performance

    Now the truth probably lies somewhere between the two

    But that won't fit the RD is not good for us view

    Valley talk blog will hear no bad words about Yann Kermorgant so it's not even worth responding nla

    Not read thread since page 3 but can't believe we are still banging on about this. If Yann loved it here so much and loved the club so much he'd still be here. He isn't.
    Says it all for me.

    agreed , fuck doing whats best for his family
    He was settled in the area and we still offered about 10-12k a week. Not like we were offering him next to nothing and he was forced to move.

    Bournemouth would rather shell out silly money (which would mean Yann was on 2x most other players' wages if we matched, would cause disharmony and other players to want wage increases too) so he left.
  • just checking he did what was best for his family

    we didn't wanna pay his going rate

    fair enough

    we thought we'd spend money on Polish Pete instead cos we didn't want instant dividends

    I thought the Pete transfer was a mistake too. Would've much preferred 1m (which we offered for Gradel) been spent on a striker in Jan and i'm hoping in the summer this comes to pass.
  • We should have just given yann the dough

    If Piotr cost £700000 or 700000 euros, whoever paid that has made a massive mistake.I am a pretty good judge of a footballer and Michael Smith, at the moment, is a better player than PP. That is not to say that PP won't improve, but we could have got a good standard Striker with that money, or kept Kermy. PPs ex club must be having a good laugh.

    PP is the new Martin Christensen (excepting that he did make a brief cameo for the first team) it wouldn't be Charlton if we didn't have a useless non-playing parasite somewhere on the payroll.
    Wow, that's a bit strong Len. A parasite?

    Source??
  • If we go down I'm sure RD will acknowledge (not to us fans) he has made a mistake in not signing recognised forwards and will rectify it, if we don't go down I expect the same, I think Yann used us fans to disguise the real reason he left and that don't sit comfortable with me.

    who would want to move to Medway?

  • At this stage it's probably best to revisit at the end of the season / when we are safe and ask what strategy is in place to bring in decent strikers over the summer - the CAFC brand is damaged by the speculation in the press but results can overcome that and, as I keep stating, Duchatelet has appeared able to recruit players and coaches at Liege.
    Kermorgant went and I have no problem with HIS strategy and final decision. It would have helped to get replacements in and some are saying play Dervite upfront!

    My problem is with people who leverage his departure to attack the club. A bad result vs Barnsley and it's blah blah blah despite the fact that NLA and others have spelt out the January soap opera and that someone in the club has clearly briefed people that Kermorgant was a no show at one of our games.

    We have four games and two home games to nail this situation. After that YK and Stephens and probably 10 players are CAFC history... The really big question is what is the ambition for 2014/15
  • If I had done well in my job and was offered a pay cut I'd leave too.

    Who was offered a paycut?
  • There are a lot of posts here and some very mixed opinions. However, we can all agree on two things: we would have more points with him still in the team and we could have done more to keep him.

    I'm a big fan of him but objectively that's what it comes down to. Short and long term it was a mistake. I could add more about Duchatelet, contracts, etc but in this case it has been done over and over and will be until if we stay up.
